That’s right dear reader, we have officially been around for 1 year! This blog is definitely a labor of love. We hope that you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy writing it. We are forging ahead with more art projects, family programs, and general artsy fun at the High. If you have any suggestions, ideas, or comments please feel free to send them our way.

Tomorrow the Alliance Theatre for the Very Young will present an excerpt from A Child’s Garden of Verses, a highly interactive multi-sensory performance for very young children and their grown-ups at Toddler Thursday. Yes, you will be able to enjoy these mini performances at 12 p.m. and 1 p.m.

Join us from 12 noon – 5 p.m. this Sunday, March 13for family photography fun celebrating our exhibition,Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century. Read below for details of the day’s activities:

We’re here to rescue you from hearing the phrase, “I’m bored” uttered from your kids this weekend. Below you’ll find a simple and fun project that you can work on as a family:

Photography Free for All

Supplies:

Disposable Camera

Glue

11×18 paper

Scissors

Directions:

If you’re anything like me, you probably have a disposable camera lying around your house (or one that has half of its pictures taken, but is waiting to be used up). Try giving it to your kids to see what kind of photography skills they possess. Who knows what they’ll decide to capture on film.

Once they’re finished, develop the photos and work together to create a collage that tells a story. Almost like an advertising story board. I bet you’ll be surprised by what your children come up with.
